[QUOTE="Bixter44, post: 257110, member: 3526"] I bought a bottle of Crown Royal's Bourbon Mash last week on a road trip. It even came in a fancy box. I thought it was pretty good. It's not made like real bourbon but it tastes ok. So I went down to the local MLCC to get another one because they are on sale and cheap. I couldn't find a bottle in a box that said Bourbon Mash on it. They had Blended Mash but not in a box. I was informed that a Canadian Company cannot use the term Bourbon. You'd think Seagram would have known that. American Distillers kicked up a stink. So the new bottle has no box and is called Blended Mash. I went to the other store in town and found they still had some of the Bourbon Mash in a box so I got one of those too. A Collectors Item. Making bourbon has rules. This is straight off the net. Crown Royal's Bourbon Mash does not check any of these boxes.
